Resource recovery from waste is one of the most important ways to implement the so-called circular economy, and the use of alkali activated materials can become an alternative for traditional PC-based materials. These types of materials are based on waste resources involving a lower carbon footprint and present similar or high properties and good durability compared to that Portland cement (PC). This research work proposes using new waste generated in different types of industries. Four waste types were employed: fluid catalytic cracking residue (FCC) from the petrochemical industry; ceramic sanitary ware (CSW) from the construction industry; rice husk ash (RHA); diatomaceous waste from beer filtration (DB) (food industry). FCC and CSW were employed as precursor materials, and mixtures of both showed good properties of the obtained alkali activated materials generated with commercial products as activators (NaOH/waterglass). RHA and DB were herein used as an alternative silica source to prepare the alkaline activating solution. Mechanical behavior was studied by the compressive strength development of mortars. The corresponding pastes were characterized by X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, and microscopy studies. The results were satisfactory, and demonstrated that employing these alternative activators from waste produces alkali activated materials with good mechanical properties, which were sometimes similar or even better than those obtained with commercial reagents.

Rice husk ash is one of the most widely studied biomass ashes used in pozzolanic addition. Given its lower silica content, rice straw ash (RSA) has been explored less often, despite the fact that, according to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), rice straw (RS) production is estimated at 600 million tons/year. In this work, RSA was physically and chemically characterized, and its pozzolanic properties were assessed. A controlled conditioning, burning, homogenization and grinding procedure was carried out to obtain RSA from RS. Chemical composition, insoluble residue, reactive silica, chloride content and particle size distribution were assessed for ash characterization. To determine RSA pozzolanicity, Frattini, electrical conductivity and pH measurements in an aqueous suspension of hydrated CH/RSA mixtures were obtained. Portland cement (PC) mortars with 15% and 30% RSA substitutions evaluated. The mechanical tests showed specimens with a strength activity index up to 90% and 80% with 15% and 30% RSA, respectively, after 3 days, and these values grew to 107–109% after 90 curing days.

Worldwide cement production is around 4.2 billion tons, and the fabrication of one ton of ordinary Portland cement emits around 900 kg of CO2. Blast furnace slag (BFS) is a byproduct used to produce alkali-activated materials (AAM). BFS production was estimated at about 350 million tons in 2018, and the BFS reuse rate in construction materials of developing countries is low. AAM can reduce CO2 emissions in relation to Portland cement materials: Its use in construction would be a golden opportunity for developing countries in forthcoming decades. The present research aims to formulate AAM destined for future applications in developing countries. Two activators were used: NaOH, Na2CO3, and a mixture of both. The results showed that compressive strengths within the 42–56 MPa range after 28 curing days were obtained for the Na2CO3-activated mortars. The characterization analysis confirmed the presence of hydrotalcite, carbonated phases, CSH and CASH. The economic study showed that Na2CO3 was the cheapest activator in terms of the relative cost per ton and MPa of manufactured mortars. Finally, the environmental benefits of mortars based on this reagent were evidenced, and, in terms of kgCO2 emissions per ton and MPa, the mortars with Na2CO3 yielded 50% lower values than with NaOH.

Soil stabilization using cementing materials is a well-known procedure for earth-based building blocks preparation. For the selected binding materials, innovation usually focuses on low carbon systems, many of which are based on alkaline activation. In the present paper, blast furnace slag (BFS) is used as a mineral precursor, and the innovative alkali activator was olive stone biomass ash (OBA). This means that the most important component in CO2 emissions terms, which is the alkali activator, has been replaced with a greener alternative: OBA. The OBA/BFS mixture was used to prepare compacted dolomitic soil blocks. These specimens were mechanically characterized by compression, and water strength coefficient and water absorption were assessed. The microstructure of blocks and the formation of cementing hydrates were analyzed by field emission scanning electron microscopy and thermogravimetry, respectively. The final compressive strength of the 120-day cured blocks was 27.8 MPa. It was concluded that OBA is a sustainable alkali activator alternative for producing BFS-stabilized soil-compacted blocks: CO2 emissions were 3.3 kgCO2/ton of stabilized soil, which is 96% less than that for ordinary Portland cement (OPC) stabilization.

Reusing ceramic waste as a pozzolanic admixture may offer environmental benefits as it allows the reduction in the consumption of natural resources and energy, and the reduction of CO2 emissions associated with Portland cement (PC) production, while valorising waste materials with a long biodegradation period. This paper assessed the pozzolanic activity of three different ceramic waste types: red clay bricks (RCB), ceramic tiles (TCW) and ceramic sanitary-ware (CSW). After adapting their particle size by crushing and milling, each was used to replace 0 to 50 wt% PC (CEM I 42.5 R type). The milled powders were characterised by laser diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), and consistency and setting time tests were used to investigate the fresh behaviour of the ceramic waste/PC blended pastes. A basic sustainability analysis was performed, and the pozzolanic activity of RCB, TCW and CSW was assessed by compressive strength tests (performed in mortars cured at room temperature from 3 to 365 days) and microstructural analyses (thermogravimetry, XRD and FESEM performed in the pastes cured at 20 °C for 28 and 90 days). The pozzolanic reaction of these waste materials improved with curing time, and all the mortars prepared with up to 25 wt% RCB, TCW or CSW met the mechanical requirements set out for coal fly ashes, whatever the ceramic waste type used. Among them, these results open up the possibility of partially replacing PC with the closest available ceramic waste, which would reduce the CO2 emissions and economic cost deriving from transporting waste.

Alkali‐activated cements are widely studied as alternative and sustainable binder in soil stabilization. In this research work, a mold was designed and constructed, which allowed small cubic specimens to be made (40x40x40 mm3). With the newly designed mold, cubic samples of soil stabilized with Portland cement (OPC) and alternative AAC (based on spent fluid catalytic cracking catalyst FCC) were prepared from which compressive strength was obtained. Cylindrical specimens were also prepared using the same binders as in the previous case to obtain their compressive strength. The results obtained in both cases were compared. Greater resistances for cubic samples were achieved. The cubic specimens were selected for being better in terms of standard deviation of compressive strength for AAC stabilized soil. The obtained compressive strength and standard deviation results were compared between the soil specimens stabilized with different stabilizers cured at 7, 14, 28 and 90 days. The method allows small‐sized cubic specimens to be prepared. It improves ergonomics. It also facilitates a large number of specimens being obtained with a small amount of sample. Soil stabilized with AAC yielded higher compressive strength after 90 days compared to that with OPC. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Arundo donax is a plant native to Asia and is considered an invader species in the Mediterranean region and many tropical zones in the world. These invader plants can be collected to produce a biomass, which can be converted to ash by combustion. The scope of the study is to assess the use of these ashes (Arundo donax straw ash [ADSA]) as supplementary cementing material due to their relatively high silica content. Electron microscopy studies on dried and calcined samples of different plant parts (cane, sheath leaf and leaf) were carried out. Some different cellular structures were identified in the spodogram (remaining skeleton after calcination). Major silica content was found in leaves and sheath leaves. The main element in all the ashes studied, together with oxygen, was potassium (22 to 46% depending on the part of the plant). Chloride content was also high (5–13%), which limits their use to non-steel reinforced concrete. The pozzolanic reactivity of ADSA was assessed in pastes by thermogravimetric analysis and in mortars with ordinary Portland cement based on compressive strength development. Excellent results were found in terms of reactivity.

The properties of a binder developed by the alkali-activation of a single waste material can improve when it is blended with different industrial by-products. This research aimed to investigate the influence of blast furnace slag (BFS) and fly ash (FA) (0–50 wt %) on the microstructure and compressive strength of alkali-activated ceramic sanitaryware (CSW). 4 wt % Ca(OH)2 was added to the CSW/FA blended samples and, given the high calcium content of BFS, the influence of BFS was analyzed with and without adding Ca(OH)2. Mortars were used to assess the compressive strength of the blended cements, and their microstructure was investigated in pastes by X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetry, and field emission scanning electron microscopy. All the samples were cured at 20 °C for 28 and 90 days and at 65 °C for 7 days. The results show that the partial replacement of CSW with BFS or FA allowed CSW to be activated at 20 °C. The CSW/BFS systems exhibited better mechanical properties than the CSW/FA blended mortars, so that maximum strength values of 54.3 MPa and 29.4 MPa were obtained in the samples prepared with 50 wt % BFS and FA, respectively, cured at 20 °C for 90 days.

Alkali-activated binders (AABs) are a material obtained from the combination of a solid precursor and an alkaline activating solution. In this study, one solid precursor used was blast-furnace slag (BFS) and the other was an agro waste: sugar cane straw ash (SCSA). Sodium hydroxide was used for preparing activating solutions. In order to reach the potential reactivity of the SCSA, a study varying the BFS/SCSA mass ratio and H2O/Na2O molar ratio was carried out. The BFS/SCSA ratio varied from 100/0 to 70/30, and H2O/Na2O was studied in the range of 11.1–18.5. To fulfill this objective, specimens were assessed by their compressive strength of mortars and microstructural studies of pastes [X-ray diffraction (XRD); thermogravimetric analysis (TGA); Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR); and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM)] in the curing time range of 3–90 days at 25°C. Results from these tests showed that the best BFS/SCSA and H2O/Na2O ratios were 70/30 and 18.5, respectively. This study revealed an interesting valorization of the SCSA as a complementary precursor in BFS-based AABs because of the improvement of mechanical properties and the reduction in the consumption of BFS in AAB.

Portland cement (OPC) production is one of the most contaminating greenhouse gas producing activities. In order to reduce OPC consumption, several alternatives are being assessed, and the use of pozzolanic material is one of them. This paper presents study on the reactivity of sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBA), a residue from sugarcane industry, as a pozzolanic material. In order to evaluate SCBA reactivity, it was mixed in pastes with hydrated lime and OPC, which were microstructurally characterised. These studies showed that SCBA presents some pozzolanic characteristics. Studies on mortars in which OPC was replaced by SCBA in the range 10–30% were also carried out. Replacement in the range 15–20% yielded the best behaviour in terms of compressive strength. Finally, it can be concluded this ash could be valorised despite its relative low pozzolanic reactivity.

Production of Portland cement requires a large volume of natural raw materials and releases huge amounts of CO2 to the atmosphere. Lower environmental impact alternatives focus on alkali-activated cements. In this paper, fluid catalytic cracking residue (FCC) was used to partially replace (0 wt %–50 wt %) ceramic sanitaryware (CSW) in alkali-activated systems. Samples were activated with NaOH and sodium silicate solutions and were cured at 65 °C for 7 days and at 20 °C for 28 and 90 days. In order to increase CSW/FCC binders’ sustainability, the influence of reducing the silica concentration (from 7.28 mol·kg−1 up to 2.91 mol·kg−1) was analyzed. The microstructure of the developed binders was investigated in pastes by X-ray diffraction, thermo tests and field emission scanning electron microscopy analyses. Compressive strength evolution was assessed in mortars. The results showed a synergetic effect of the CSW/FCC combinations so that, under the studied conditions, mechanical properties significantly improved when combining both waste materials (up to 70 MPa were achieved in the mortars containing 50 wt % FCC cured at room temperature for 90 days). Addition of FCC allowed CSW to be activated at room temperature, which significantly broadens the field of applications of alkali-activated CSW binders.

El objetivo de este trabajo es caracterizar 4 escorias de fundiciones de cobre del siglo XIX, procedentes de vertederos abandonados en la Región de Atacama - Chile, utilizando las técnicas de fluorescencia de rayos X (FRX), difracción de rayos X (DRX), microscopía electrónica de barrido (SEM), análisis de partículas por difracción láser (ADL), espectrometría infrarroja por transformadas de Fourier (FTIR) y análisis termogravimétrico (ATG). Las escorias de cobre estudiadas fueron clasificadas químicamente como escorias ácidas, con mayor contenido de SiO2 (38 - 49%) que de Fe2O3 (18 - 37%), y con una importante cantidad de CaO (8-26%) y Al2O3 (5-8%). Su mineralogía y estructura es variada, presentando una de ellas una estructura amorfa y las tres restantes, una estructura cristalina con cierto carácter amorfo. Las fases minerales mayoritarias presentes en las escorias de cobre son diópsido, fayalita, magnetita, cristobalita y clinoferrosilita. Los niveles de calcio indicarían que las escorias poseen propiedades cementantes para ser utilizadas en materiales de construcción. Además, la importante cantidad de escoria disponible y el contenido de CuO (0,6 - 1,2%) muestran que puede ser de interés como materia prima en la recuperación del metal.

Biomass has gained in importance as an energy source in recent years. One of the crops that presents interesting opportunities with regard to biomass is sugar cane. In Brazil, sugar cane production is increasing for alcohol and sugar manufacture. Some byproducts, such as sugar cane straw, also are obtained during harvesting. Because of the calorific value of the sugar cane straw, its use as biomass is increasing. After the straw is burned to produce energy, an ash is obtained: sugar cane straw ash (SCSA). This waste needs an appropriate destination, and since the recent publication of successful studies using biomass derived-ashes as pozzolanic material, the present study aimed to assess the pozzolanic reactivity of sugar cane straw ash. The pozzolanic activity was assessed using a new and simple recently proposed method: evaluation of the electrical conductivity of calcium hydroxide (CH) and pozzolan suspensions, in which solid CH is initially present. These results were compared to those of two other well-established techniques: Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. The evaluation by all three techniques is similar and shows that sugar cane straw ash is a good pozzolanic material: high lime fixation values for CH/SCSA mixes were determined by thermogravimetric analysis, and unsaturation with respect to CH in 3.5:6.5 CH/SCSA suspension was achieved at 60 °C. According to this behavior, a bright future for SCSA as a replacement for Portland cement is expected.

The carbonation of hydrated ordinary Portland cement (OPC) allows the transformation of hydrated calcium aluminates and silicates into calcium carbonate and amorphous silica/ alumina. These carbonated materials are appropriate to being used as inorganic precursors for alkaline activation. The use of sodium silicate and hydroxide solutions enables the production of cementitious gels. Two ways of carbonation of hydrated cement were studied: in a dry environment, where relative humidity did not exceed 70% and in an aqueous medium at a temperature of 5 ± 1 ° C. Both materials were micro-structurally characterised and they have been used for the manufacturing of geopolymeric mortars. These mortars reached mechanical strength between 10 and 20 MPa, depending on the activating solution, the water/binder ratio and curing time/temperature. These results show the feasibility of reusing hydrated cement contained in construction and demolition wastes.
